View of the facade of the El Paso County Court House located at 215 South Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Designed by local architect, August j. Smith, the three-story Renaissance Revival structure features a foundation of rough-cut blocks of Platte Canyon granite with upper stories constructed of rhyolite and cast stone. A large, recessed entry portico with doric columns and lunette provide access to the building, with a central three-story stone clock and bell tower capped by an opened domed cupola. After the El Paso County offices moved to nearby buildings, the old court house was converted to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum in 1979. The structure was placed on the National Register in 1972.
